The labour market in Nigeria presently care less about your class of degree. Even if you make the first class grade of this world. It does not guarantee you any work. Connections and contacts is work push you out of the labour market.
well said Bro

Yes, if you can move to a developed country that is interested in your ability and not the paper certificate

Simple answer (doesn't matter how discouraging), very very hard.

Your pg doesn't matter, no body ask for it

The only place you have a chance is government civil service or teaching where you have to use connection, outside that, develop your skills and be self employed

If you have a Capital then go ahead and start a biz, u said u studied microbiology right?, Then there is no cause for alarm, go ahead and get a diploma in Medical Laboratory Technician, it offers lots of Job opportunity in the hospital setting as U can't work in the Hospital with ur mere microbiology certificate, or better still U could apply for a direct entry into some University that offers direct entry into 200L Medical Laboratory Science such as University of Calabar and UniJos, that is if U want to be a Professional with a very attractive income without waiting for a White collar Job.

Best Wishes Bro.

Nope, but you can create a job.



There is a limit to where and what you can achieve with a 3rd class degree, but with a brain, and functional limbs, you have limitless opportunities.

Good evening. I graduated in 2011 from a University here in Nigeria where I studied Microbiology. I actually had a third class although I am running a PGD programme at the moment and I am almost rounding off. So I want to know if I can get a job with my 3rd class degree combined together with my PGD statement of result? I am in my mid 20's. I need an urgent advice please.............

Grade doesn't amount to intelligence and work input, believe in yourself, believe in what you worship, things will definately turn around for good. No shame in it bro.










God will help us all job seekers...

We have 4 3rd Class Directors in my organization - EXPERIENCE is key not the Class of Degree

Guess what.. Tony Elumelu is a 3rd Class Graduate - Take that to the BANK

Microbiology is a nice one closest to a carrier in environmental engineering. You can pursue a career there. Environmental Engineering is very lucrative these days. You could land a job in the Oils and Gas Service sector. Try some certification courses. They are expensive though (about N400,000) such as:

BGAS-CSWIP Agricultural & Environmental Inspector (Google it)
NEBOSH Module on Environment (Google it)

With the two certs above you will go far if you are disciplined and dedicated.

I am a HR practitioner.
From experience your class of degree matters at entry level not at experienced and professional levels.

Most people with third class usually go into professional certifications; they do it to the highest level, that makes their first degree certificate irrelevant during hiring process. and i must say .. they are professionally sound,intentionally want to make up for their first degree and prove a point that grade of degree means nothing; rather COMPETENCY matters.

some young people believe its only connection that can give one job irrespective of grade...wrong. yes connection in some cases opens the door, but competency and character gives you job security and career advancement.

i will personally advise you to go professional certification route and do your pgd/masters later, since you have started, conclude, do professional certifications and masters later. but be sure of what career you want for yourself before doing certification for doing sake, another mistake most people do.

Am currently a 300l Geology student, and it so clear to me that ama grad wit a 3rd class. But honestly am not bothered. This becuz like u may already knw examination is not a true test of knowledge and real employers of labour today do not look for those with just good results but those who can get d job done. I attended the monthly meeting of Nigerian Association of Petroleum explorationist and one of d speakers talked abt developing our abilities. Most pple wit good result rely just on their results to make tins happen for dem and later dey get frustrated wen tins turn out to wat dey neva expected. As a 3rd class graduate u have the advantage of planning and starting small. Personally I already have so many plans that will get me started immediately I grad next year. So bro don't give up or feel bad....just focus on areas pple over look.....the key words is to plan and start small and in no time u will find ur self at a top where u have always wanted to
